About this house rental

If you are looking for granite counter tops and marble tiled floor's this is not the house for you. However, if you wish your family had owned a lake house for the past 100 years, you are here. Built in 1925 for Hodenpyle reservoir dam operators to live in when in when the dam was
was manually operated, this house is a rare find and available to rent for the first time since being built in 1925. With nearly two acres on the reservoir, you have lake access for all water sports. Imagine having nearly 2 acres of yard to enjoy with your family and friends! Since you are by the Dam on the Manistee River, you can head down river behind the dam for great fishing, canoeing. and kayaking. This is one of the rarest parts of the Manistee River to Kayak/Canoe. Golf? There are many golf courses at great prices within a short drive. Pontoon boats are available for rent nearby from Pat's RV on the Hodenpyl. Kayak's can be made available upon request. Yard games are available for your use.

This is a 4 bedroom house that was shipped from Sears & Roebuck. We have tried to keep it as original as possible with all the charm and comfort you can imagine. The ground floor has a full bathroom as well as the dining room, living room and kitchen. The original porch was turned into a 3 season room that has comfortable seating to enjoy napping, chatting, or enjoying the outdoor views. The bedrooms are small due to the time this house was built. You have a fire pit and in the summertime and an outdoor pergola with ceiling fan to keep the bugs away. Say hi to Mr. Moose (rumor has it that if you smooch the moose you will come back).
No pets please. I know my pets but not yours.
Come, take a deep breath and relax with your family and friends in the family house you always wished your family had.

If you are looking for a place to get on a near empty lake, read a book, or generally do nothing, this is the place. House is well suited for a summer getaway. Full kitchen & grill outside. 4 bedrooms allow for space & a great yard. We had a great week up at Hodenlpyl lake.

The house is good, the backyard is good the area was amazing, except that when we came in there was Animal hair everywhere in the house, beds, couches, blankets, floor, everywhere. And there wasn’t a vacuum to clean.
